my favorite word

You are a healing balm kind of person

big lips; 

smooth stretched oleander 

curving double-petaled acceptance 

(and speaking of your heart,)

to kiss away insecurities,

embolden their recipients

You, treasuring intrinsic miracle

articulation never spoken but felt

alight again upon my cheek, in the wind

"...Mission – What happened to all the fun?
For some reason (called religion!) the church can become stagnant, irrelevant and boring. This is such a tragedy as the church is God’s number one means of bringing his love and healing to the world which is certainly not boring; in fact it is an adventure. And that is what mission is all about, being caught up on God’s adventure and finding your place in it. Once you understand mission like that, it becomes way more fun."

(, i am utterly) by you

My life is moving at the perfect pace.

♫ I'm dreaming of a morefree China ♫

Life's a trip, all of its own accord.  Who needs the drogas when you've got the Spirit to point these things out?  Like have you seen light dancing in the river at night?  Have you breathed exhaust and been grateful anew for all the clean air you've ever known?  Please Lord, fill us; help us breathe You deep, deep.
Course through us; by Your grace, flow from us.  Please help us know You; deep, deep.

How do you show your love? 
Do you show your love?

randumb fact

I am not satisfied with breakfast until it involves something spicy; usually red chile, cayenne or hot sauce.

Magnolia

Spring baby breathed two and a half minutes;

(one crying,
one gasping            and the hesitation between)

frost crept lace-etched rosy pink to
given-up brown, whispered;
"I'll call you Magnolia."

we blinked it in,
eyelids the coldest heavy,

hearts taught to close before
lips
 could fog
'thank you.'

Mi Parte Favorita de estar Sola en Casa

Partido de danza en cualquier momento del día. Estilo variable. La ropa opcional!

Wish this chocolate cake would stop it already.  I mean
I'm trying to go to bed, here.

"You see, the ocean and the land are the most important providers there can be."

This morning

I slept in!
woke up to a cozy, warm room
had tea (two cups!)
made french toast.

I danced! 

finally discovered John Legend.

It's only noon!

Thank you, God, for peace and life and love and your joyful Spirit who teaches us to savor and enjoy all of it.

I want to look back and think, "I lived this year fully;"
          "I lived this season fully.
           I lived this month fully.
           I lived this week fully.
           I lived this day fully."

With all your help, God.

The First Thirteen Words

It's nice to have been made me.  Thank God for slow, delicious mornings.

Autumn makes a baker of me.

Don't worry,

I will paint the possibility too beautiful for you not to change. 

If you have trusted me to do it, I will do it.

This is indestructible, because it is built on me and not you.
